is one of the most delightful places for
a summer resort this side of Chautau-
qua itself. Its splendid mountain
scenery and its proximity to the White
Mountains make it among the most de.
siraple places Tor summer recreation
the country affords. The representa-

with the eminent ladies, are determine
ed to make it success and warrant

thousand programs have already been
distributed, judiciously, throughout
the community, and any person who
may have failed to receive one, who
desires it, has only to send postal card
to either of the officers to secure it.
